VISOR: Vast Independence System Optimization Routine

The VISOR system ( VIsual Schemas

| Using object recognition in simple scenes as the task, this research focuses on two fundamental problems in neural network systems: (1) processing large amounts of input with limited resources , and (2) the representation and use of struc-tured knowledge. The rst problem arises because no practical neural network can process all the visual input simultaneously and eeciently. The solution is t...

Nonlinear Optimization over a Weighted Independence System

We consider the problem of optimizing a nonlinear objective function over a weighted independence system presented by a linear optimization oracle. We provide a polynomial-time algorithm that determines an r-best solution for nonlinear functions of the total weight of an independent set, where r is a constant depending on certain Frobenius numbers of the weights and is independent of the size o...

IDR visor map: a simple and friendly geographical information system

Nowadays, the construction of a Geographical Information System on a commercial package takes up a great deal of time and resources. However, the distribution of such an application can be more expensive than the construction because of the need to distribute the commercial package with the application. Usually, commercial packages cover this lack by providing reduced versions from their powerf...

Visual Perception System for a Social Robot (VISOR)

Visor: Video Surveillance Online Repository

Aim of the Visor Project [1] is to gather and make freely available a repository of surveillance and video footages for the research community on pattern recognition and multimedia retrieval. The goal is to create an open forum and a free repository to exchange, compare and discuss results of many problems in video surveillance and retrieval. Together with the videos, the repository contains me...
